Make No Bones About It: Orthopedic Injuries Can Happen to Your Child

…and important “breaking” news this Halloween season

Orthopedic injuries are more than just broken bones and casts. They actually include a variety of injuries that are common among kids and teens, especially considering the highly active lives that many of them lead. As parents, it’s helpful to know the types of injuries and the signs to watch out for, to make sure to seek the care of an orthopedic doctor in the case of a suspected (or apparent) injury. On occasion, injuries can seem less severe than they appear, and parents may think that treatment at home will suffice, only to realize later that prompt and effective treatment from an orthopedic specialist was warranted. It may also be in the child’s best interest to see a pediatric physical therapist following orthopedic treatment for full recuperation.
